Wins Two Fast Games Last Week Last Friday night finished the reg- ular basketball season for Palmer high school, except tournament play, and the Tigers finished the season in a blaze of glory. Playing their best ball of the sea- son, Palmer defeated Alda here Tues- day night last week by a score of 33 to 20. Alda is one of the strong teams in this part of the state. Friday night at Dannebrog the Tigers eked out a 24 to 21 victory in a hard fought battle. The tension during the last quarter was kept at white heat, while first one team and then the other slipped ahead by one or two points, as the minutes clicked off toward the final gun. Scott was high point man both nights with 11 points each game. Palmer's second team lost to Alda 14 to 8, but they won easily at Danne- brog 42 to 10. Dannebrog's reserve players were plenty good for their size, but they were too small for Pa1mer's huskies.

Palmer scored 21 points. The game was fairly even until the last quarter. The superior height of the Elm Creek 'boys gave them a distinct advantage, and in the last quarter, with Scott of Palmer out of the game on fouls, they built up a substantial lead. , f' Q ll: .-,.,, xl PAL RIT!
